Artist Information

Biography

Noah Hoehn is a fierce performer. He has earned national acclaim for his harmonica playing as a two-time winner of the McKnight Fellowship for performing musicians. Now it is his solo looping show that is truly unequaled as a winner of this prestigious award for a third time. His singular vision to unite the sounds of new blues and marimba pop is accomplished with an incomparable live looping system. Saucy harmonica and cool marimba are layered upon a foundation of acoustic grooves freeing him to sing and play at the same time—a musical style unparalleled the world over.

Noah has boldly combined acoustic instruments from the blues and classical percussion with the technologies of live looping, MIDI programming and automated mixing into a distinct and cohesive sound. While performing in what he calls “The Mothership” he clicks, slides and taps the controls on his personally designed looping system while playing and singing. His show inspires the imagination as he pushes the limit of musical performance multitasking.

Noah was finishing his degree as a classically trained percussionist by day as he was cutting his harmonica chops in backwater barrooms across the Midwest by night. His impassioned harmonica performances and sincere dedication to his craft gained him national acclaim. Noah’s energetic and distinctive playing has been heard in concert halls, festivals and on national radio programs.

Hoehn studied music in college, where he mastered the harmonica, leading him to win the prestigious McKnight Artist Fellowship for Performing Musicians. Noah had success in a few different bands at the beginning of his musical career, but eventually decided that going solo and making the kind of music that inspired him is where he wanted to his career to be. Using his background in music, Noah became a one man band, teaching himself with manuals the art of looping live sound and mixing it with his performance on the marimbas, harmonica, and other various instruments. It’s startling to hear that Noah has only been performing live for less than a month; he has a big career waiting for him.
